Serendipities Dies Release - Butterfly & Dragonfly

Welcome to another Serendipity Stamps blog hop!! I am so excited to show you something new today. If you know me or my blog you know that I am totally nuts for die cuts! Lucky me! Serendipity started making coordinating stamp/die sets earlier this year and today we are featuring the newly released Floral Butterfly and Floral Dragonfly sets. Previously released sets include a scroll heart and egg.

You can order the stamp, solid die, and floral die individually or together as a coordinated set. The solid die can be used to give your stamped image a clean cut finished look, or you can place it behind the intricately cut die to show a contrasting background. Here are photos to show you exactly what each of the sets look like.

Enter for your chance to win your choice of either of the two new die sets by leaving a comment on each of the design team member blogs by Friday May 25!!

My two cards feature the fancy cut die backed by the solid die on a trellis background to give a "garden" look to my cards. I used foil paper for my dies because I wanted to showcase those fancy, intricately cut images. They are really exceptional and will give any creation a touch of elegance. The base of my card is embossed vintage cream paper. I added a few die cut frames and then my Serendipity Floral Butterfly, and Butterfly Outline. I topped it off with a sprinkle of gems, a pretty flower, and a bow topped with a button I've had in my stash for years.

I hope you will visit the other Serendipity Design Team blogs and see the other beautiful creations they've made with this beautiful set of stamps and dies. Just click on their names listed below in alphabetical order to jump to their blogs.

I honestly don't know which one I like better Jeanne. The colors are so soft and the word serene comes to mind. The gold butterfly on the pink and the silver on the orchid are just beautiful combinations. The Dutch Scallop Square Frame was such a pretty touch, so intricate. Beautiful cards for two great stamp and die sets.

Shut the front door!!!! I'm tripping all over myself here...these are crazy beautiful Jeanne! Seriously, I can't begin to tell you how wonderful a concept this is and how you've showcased this product is completely tantalizing. Oh the dreaded temptation....LOVE it!!! Dynamite cards chica...they completely rock! :)

These cards are absolutely beautiful! Love the layering of the dies and how wonderfully the lattice frames both the Butterfly and Dragonfly! They are so delicate and elegant--who could pick a favorite? Thank You for such inspiration!!

Well, I can say from personal experience how beautiful that butterfly looks up close. Your cards with the butterfly and the dragonfly are absolutely stunning. Now, I have more ideas for how to use my butterfly. Love how you created that trellis effect.

Oh my gosh! GORGEOUS ! I think I'm just going to put the same response for all your cards:) The die you use in these cards are stunning . Love that you used the foil paper to show off the details, the pink is my favoriate ! your bows are beautiful too !

OMG, Jeanne--these are SO GORGEOUS! I love them both--could never decide between butterflies and dragonflies and yours are stunning. The lattice look die cut is so wonderful and I love the Serendipity dies!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
